In order for the Chicago Bears to get themselves back into playoff contention in 2015, they cannot repeat the same mistakes they made last offseason.
This offseason started off with a bang when the organization decided to fire general manager Phil Emery and head coach Marc Trestman the day after the team’s Week 17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Under the guidance of consultant Ernie Accorsi, team president Ted Phillips and chairman George McCaskey hired 37-year old Ryan Pace to be the team’s new general manager. At his introductory press conference, Pace laid out a very simple plan for the team moving forward.
“Guys, it’s all about winning games, and that’s what I’m here to do. Every decision we make goes back to what’s best for this organization,” he said, via the Chicago Tribune. “It’s as simple as that.”
Pace quickly got to work trying to find a new head coach and landed former Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos coach John Fox late last week.

Fox assured the media and fans in his introductory press conference on Monday morning that he is going to do all he can to bring a championship back to Chicago.
“I can’t make any promises other than I’m gonna give you all I got,” he said, via Patrick Finley of the Chicago Tribune.
Now that the team has a general manager and head coach in place, the organization can start looking toward the future.
Here are five mistakes the Bears cannot repeat in the 2015 offseason.
